It's a late reply, but here's a thought:
If you can mount the partition, but not boot from it, it may be that the
corruption is to the boot sector in the Win2K partition. I think the
Win2K bootable CD has a rescue option using the command line. There you
should be able to do FIXBOOT or something similar to repair the damage.
